Not for me

Holy God, that guitar solo! Hendrix-esque cosmic blues that goes on forever and ever. Would easily rank #1 favorite if it were only spoken word poetry followed by a 15 minute Eddie Hazel solo, over and over, on a triple album.

Bob Dylan peaked on his 2nd and 3rd albums, 4th album is alright. I've never liked Blonde on Blonde, he drank too much of his own bathwater by this point.

More Glam Rock concept albums please

Ogre Battle is great.

Malibu is a great Sheryl Crow song. And Courtney Love's voice is powerful and gritty. But of all the alternative albums, why is this one included on a top 1000 list?!

Not for me

Grand Daddy Daft Punk

Fun album

Alternative with classic rock elements, and none of it laid on too thick. The first happy surprise in the 1001

This was probably hot shit at the time, but now just sounds like ringtones

Not for me

This hit so hard as an angry kid. Now it sounds flat and obnoxious

Perfect soundtrack for anhedonia

John Lee Hooker is the greatest, BB King's albums are always a miss

Not for me

Cool, just wish I knew what he was saying

Porcelain is great. Otherwise it's just Moby ripping off more talented musicians.

Fun

Pure 1960s

French Shoegaze, not bad

I get it.

10 stars

The novelty of Johnny Cash covering modern songs wore off 20 years ago.

I love Lady Day but have never liked this album. It's too sad to listen to in many ways, none of them good. Her voice is gone, the orchestral swell attempts to cover and carry it all forward. The album on the whole feels like death tourism.

Bowie on full Gonzo mode, Where Are We Now is one of my favorite songs.

Lovely compositions, but the singing is hit or miss.

Two timeless songs, good shoegaze overall

Sea Change is a top 5 all timer, but all the rest are too jokey

Pitchfork strikes out again

Good stuff, but not for me.

Nice album cover, asshole.

"The corners were our Taj Majal"...GTFOOH. Kanye West cover album.

Not for me.

Awful. This list is so Boomer coded.

Not for me.

Awful

Make the boomering end

Made my day

Not underrated

Hell is a never-ending Beastie Boys concert

Sounds like a YouTube AI generated album now
